But today, I’d like to take a moment to all the writers adding to this collection daily.

Tessa Brown, with her daily update of “Sorry For Partying.” I am loving the daily chapters of your story, parceled out at the perfect pace.

W.W. Norton, adding sage writing advice from professional writers. When I get stuck, I think of NaNoWriMo: Getting Her Up The Tree, Getting Her Down. Then I throw a few more rocks at my girl, as she climbs up the tree.

Valentina Bertani, who is writing her 50K words in English, when her native tongue is Italian.

Marj, who thought nobody was reading her posts. Well, I am!

And the myriad of others, newcomers and intermittent posters. Some of your posts on #NaNoWriMo I found by searching, and added you. Others were added by those above.

Ygor, Sheri, Steven, and those who are thinking about writing, but haven’t yet.

Thanks for sharing your ‘Wrimo journey. As I said in the beginning, we’re all in this rusty VW bus together, plodding along. It’s nice to have company.
